Description

This peach chutney recipe with fresh peaches, raisins, and warm spices makes a sweet and spicy fruity condiment. Great with pork and cheese.

Ingredients

4 pounds sliced peeled peaches
4 cups packed brown sugar
4 cups apple cider vinegar
1 cup raisins
5 ounces chopped preserved ginger
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon mustard seed
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 cup pickling spice

Directions

1 Combine peaches, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, raisins, ginger, onion, garlic, chili powder, mustard seed, and curry powder in a large heavy pot. Wrap pickling spice in a cheesecloth bag and place in the pot.
2 Bring to a boil and cook over medium heat, uncovered, until mixture reaches your desired consistency. It will take about 1 ½ hours to get a good thick chutney. Stir frequently to prevent scorching on the bottom.
3 Remove spice bag and ladle chutney into hot sterilized jars. Wipe the rims with a clean moist cloth. Seal with lids and rings, and process in a barely simmering water bath for 10 minutes, or the time recommended by your local extension for your area. The water should cover the jars completely.
4 Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.
